St Matthew Passion

Sir Simon Rattle was in no doubt: the performance of the St Matthew Passion which he realized together with the Berliner Philharmoniker in 2010 was for him “the single most important thing we ever did here”. Critics around the world agreed, praising the semi-staged “ritualization” by star-director Peter Sellars, as well as the outstanding musical performances.
